- Details on test animals and environmental conditions:
- Number of animals: 20 females (nulliparous and non-pregnant), five females per group.
Age and body weight: Young adult animals (approx. 11 weeks old) were selected. Body weight variation was within +/- 20% of the sex mean.
Identification: Tail mark with marker pen.
Conditions
Environmental controls for the animal room were set to maintain 18 to 24°C, a relative humidity of 40 to 70%, approximately 15 room air changes/hour, and a 12-hour light/12-hour dark cycle. Any variations to these conditions were recorded in the raw data.
Accommodation
Animals were group housed in labeled Makrolon cages (MIII type; height 18 cm) containing sterilised sawdust as bedding material (Litalabo, S.P.P.S., Argenteuil, France). Paper (Enviro-dri, Wm. Lillico & Son (Wonham Mill Ltd), Surrey, United Kingdom) and shelters (disposable paper corner home, MCORN 404, Datesand Ltd, USA) were supplied as cage-enrichment. The acclimatization period was at least 5 days before the start of treatment under laboratory conditions. On Day 6, the animals were group housed in Makrolon MII type cages with a sheet of paper instead of sawdust and cage enrichment.
Diet
Free access to pelleted rodent diet (SM R/M-Z from SSNIFF® Spezialdiäten GmbH, Soest, Germany).
Water
Free access to tap water.
Diet, water, bedding and cage enrichment evaluation for contaminants and/or nutrients was performed according to facility standard procedures. - Vehicle:
- other: 1% Pluronic © L92 in Elix water
- Concentration:
- 10, 25 and 50%
- No. of animals per dose:
- 5
- Details on study design:
- On days 1, 2, and 3, the dorsal surface of both ears was topically treated (25 μL/ear) with the test substance concentration, at approximately the same time on each day. The concentrations were stirred with a magnetic stirrer immediately prior to dosing. The control animals were treated in the same way as the experimental animals, except that the vehicle was administered instead of the test substance.
On day 6, each animal was injected via the tail vein with 0.25 mL of sterile phosphate buffered saline (PBS) (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) containing 20 μCi of 3H-methyl thymidine (PerkinElmer Life and Analytical Sciences, Boston, MA, US). After approximately five hours, all animals were killed by intraperitoneal injection (0.2 mL/animal) with Euthasol® 20% (AST Farma BV, Oudewater, The Netherlands). The draining (auricular) lymph node of each ear was excised. The relative size of the nodes (as compared to normal) was estimated by visual examination and abnormalities of the nodes and surrounding area were recorded. The nodes were pooled for each animal in approximately 3 mL PBS.
A single cell suspension of lymph node cells (LNC) was prepared in PBS by gentle separation through stainless steel gauze (diameter 125 μm). LNC were washed twice with an excess of PBS by centrifugation at 200g for 10 minutes at 4ºC. To precipitate the DNA, the LNC were exposed to 5% trichloroacetic acid (TCA) (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) and stored in the refrigerator until the next day.
Precipitates were recovered by centrifugation, resuspended in 1 mL TCA and transferred to 10 mL of Ultima Gold cocktail (PerkinElmer Life and Analytical Sciences, Boston, MA, US) as the scintillation fluid. Radioactive measurements were performed using a Packard scintillation counter (2800TR). Counting time was to a statistical precision of ± 0.2% or a maximum of 5 minutes whichever came first. The scintillation counter was programmed to automatically subtract background and convert Counts Per Minute (CPM) to Disintegrations Per Minute (DPM). - Positive control substance(s):
- hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
- Statistics:
- No
- Positive control results:
- The SI values calculated for the positive test substance HCA concentrations 5, 10 and 25% were 1.7, 1.7 and 4.7 respectively. An EC3 value of 16.5% was calculated using linear interpolation. The calculated EC3 value was found to be in the acceptable range of 4.8 and 19.5%. The results of the 6 monthly HCA reliability checks of the recent years were 13.9, 16.0, 11.9, 16.9, 14.4 and 12.8%. Based on these results it was concluded that the Local Lymph Node Assay as performed at WIL Research Europe is an appropriate model for testing for contact hypersensitivity.

- Conclusions:

- Executive summary:
The study was carried out based on the guidelines described in: OECD, Section 4, Health Effects, No.429 (2010); EC, No 440/2008; B42: "Skin Sensitization: Local Lymph Node Assay"; EPA, OPPTS 870.2600 (2003) “Skin Sensitization”.
Test substance concentrations selected for the main study were based on the results of a pre-screen test.
In the main study, three experimental groups of five female CBA/J mice were treated with test substance concentrations of 10, 25 or 50% w/w on three consecutive days, by open application on the ears. Five vehicle control animals were similarly treated, but with vehicle alone (1% watery pluronic L92). Three days after the last exposure, all animals were injected with 3H-methyl thymidine and after five hours the draining (auricular) lymph nodes were excised and pooled for each animal. After precipitating theof the lymph node cells, radioactivity measurements were performed. The activity was expressed as the number of Disintegrations Per Minute (DPM) and a stimulation index (SI) was subsequently calculated for each group.
No irritation of the ears was observed in any of the animals examined. White/grey test substance remnant were present on the dorsal surface of the ears of all animals at 10, 25 and 50% on Days 1-3, and at 50% also on Day 4 for one animal, which did not hamper scoring of skin reactions.
All auricular lymph nodes of the animals of the experimental and control groups were considered normal in size. No macroscopic abnormalities of the surrounding area were noted in any of the animals. Mean DPM/animal values for the experimental groups treated with test substance concentrations 10, 25 and 50% were 466, 571 and 612 DPM respectively. The mean DPM/animal value for the vehicle control group was 513 DPM. The SI values calculated for the substance concentrations 10, 25 and 50% were 0.9, 1.1 and 1.2 respectively. Since there was no indication that the test substance elicited an SI≥3 when tested up to 50%, EDTA-CuNa2was considered to be a non skin sensitizer.
The six-month reliability check withAlpha-hexylcinnamicaldehyde indicates that the Local Lymph Node Assay as performed at WIL Research Europe is an appropriate model for testing for contact hypersensitivity.
Based on these results, EDTA-CuNa2 would not be regarded as a skin sensitizer according to the recommendations made in the test guidelines. The test substance does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for sensitization by skin contact according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations (2011) and theRegulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures.

Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
- Additional information:
EDTA-CuNa2 did not show skin sensitizing properties in the murine LLNA.
Respiratory sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
- Additional information:
Based on the knowledge that so far all known respiratory sensitizers have also tested positive in a skin sensitization test, it is not expected that EDTA-CuNa2 would show respiratory sensitizing properties.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the results of the LLNA, EDTA-CuNa2 does not need classification for skin sensitization.
